Portrait of Zacharias Blyhoofd by Christiaan Kramm [nl]
Born	c. 1630
Died	1681 (aged c. 51) Middelburg, Zeeland, The Netherlands

Zacharias Blyhooft (or Zacharias Blijhooft; c. 1630 – 1681) was a Dutch painter, of whom but little is known; he lived in Middelburg from 1658 or 1659 until his death in 1681, but probably learnt his trade elsewhere. Two pictures by him are noticed in the Catalogues of Hoet and Terwesten, and, in regard to their merit, compared to those of Caspar Netscher. For this reason he is noticed here, as many pictures are ascribed to Netscher that resemble his manner, but are not by him.
